Review of Hotel Ghironi 4*

The property was tired and far from any public transport and no point of interest was within walking distance. The property offered a shuttle bus to the train station but each time we tried to book there was at least a 3 hour wait. The rooms havent got blinds but instead have industrial bomb shelter roller shutters that let light in — also useless in case of a bomb. Also included is a complementary wake up call at 7am every morning which they wont cancel even when you specifically ask. The wake up alarm sounds like a fire alarm. If you manage to get back to sleep, the paper thin walls is sure to wake you again as you can hear those who havent managed to get back to sleep. If you are once again successful at sleeping through this a cleaning lady will barge in — no knocking required, for your third mandatory wake up call leaving you more than ready for the day ahead. There was no welcome book that tells you about the hotels services etc so you had to randomly punch numbers into the phone until someone answered. There was no 'do not disturb' signs. And laundry service was provided at the hefty rate of €13 per pants or €4 for a TIE. A TIE! So you are better off throwing those pants out and buying a new wardobe here. The staff had told us about the breakfast that was on for the limited time of 7-9:30am but they failed to tell us that it came at a cost. Little did I know. My one slice of toast and a cup of coffee was €6.90! The positives are: Free parking Free Wi-Fi The room was acceptable but not at the high star rating they have it. — pay the extra € and stay in Cinque Terre!
